Police arrested a 23-year-old after stop sticks halted a Lamborghini Urus.
Authorities say he fled officers across multiple jurisdictions before latest encounter.
He now faces felony charges after allegedly driving toward responding officers.
A Lamborghini Urus can sprint from 0-60 mph in around 3.5 seconds, but all the horsepower in the world doesn’t help much when your tires are flat before you even leave the parking lot. That’s exactly what Yonkers Police say a Bronx man learned. His arrest came after an alleged history of fleeing officers. He evidently thought he had one more escape left in him. He was wrong.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){
adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8");
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f");
}
});
That young man is a 23-year-old Lamborghini driver, who allegedly had a suspended registration and had previously fled from law enforcement in multiple jurisdictions. According to the Yonkers Police Department, officers received an automated license plate reader alert on July 13 that identified a Lamborghini Urus parked at 132 Bronx River Road. Police say they recognized both the SUV and its driver.
Setting The Trap
If there was ever a case for automated license plate readers, this is probably it. Even so, the technology remains controversial because the same tools that can quickly locate wanted suspects can also be used to monitor the movements of ordinary drivers, a concern that has surfaced in multiple investigations involving law enforcement agencies across the U.S.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform === "DESKTOP"){
adpushup.triggerAd("ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd");
} else{
adpushup.triggerAd("44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a");
}
});

Rather than waiting for another pursuit to unfold, officers decided to ensure there wouldn’t be one. Anticipating another attempted escape, police quietly positioned a Stop Stick tire deflation device beneath the Urus before he returned to the vehicle. Patrol units then boxed the SUV in, leaving little room to maneuver.
Police say the man refused repeated commands to exit the Lamborghini and instead attempted to drive toward officers and patrol vehicles while searching for a way out. With the Urus immobilized by its flattened tires, officers ultimately took him into custody.
The man has now been charged with first-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree assault. Yonkers Police say additional charges could follow as the investigation continues.
In an email to Carscoops, Yonkers Police confirmed the Lamborghini Urus had previously fled both the Yonkers and Mount Vernon police departments. The agency also said the SUV was impounded after the arrest and that one officer suffered minor injuries.
